‘Transformers One’ Aims to Scare Off ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ With $30 Million-Plus Debut
Will Optimus Prime and Megatron be able to scare off "Beetlejuice 2"?
Based on those projections, it’ll easily dethrone the two-time champion, “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.” The spooky Warner Bros. sequel is looking to add roughly $25 million in its third weekend of release. “Toy Story 4” director Josh Cooley helmed “Transformers One,” which cost $75 million and features the ensemble voice cast of Chris Hemsworth (as Optimus Prime), Brian Tyree Henry (as Megatron), as well as Scarlett Johansson, Keegan-Michael Key, Steve Buscemi, Laurence Fishburne and Jon Hamm. Reviews have been mixed, with Variety’s Courtney Howard writing “Though not all of its clever ideas come together efficiently in the finale, its thematic ruminations on grief, sanity, rebellion and redemption are intrinsically intertwined to harrowing, claustrophobic effect, heightening the hallucinatory horrors and dread-soaked atmospheric pull.”
